This customisation itself may become crucial against some later enemies or to upgrade your abilities faster. Different crystals can be equipped for either lightsaber and each colour has its own effect or buff. All of these are unlocked early in the game and just basically upgrading each one has no really any significance into upgrading them. You level up your powers again by using experience points and there are few abilities from the Jedi mind trick to the awesome Force repulse. The main bosses, there are only a few and those have multiple quick time events which again are bothersome and very inconvenient.
There are a few mini-bosses who are easy to take down and the quick time events themselves get bothersome and repetitive. They do sometimes throw in some enemies who are resistant to either melee or force attack but end up the same nethertheless.
There are so very few enemy types, so you’ll be fighting the same stormtroopers again and again. Despite those the game takes a step back. Now you have two lightsabers to use which does look fantastic and is fun at first as well as the new mechanic of dismemberment so you can chop up enemies. The gameplay of Force Unleashed 2 is the same as its predecessor you go around killing, moving and button mashing enemies. The story is completely boring and is very uninspired considering what a vast universe they had at their disposal. There is very little story in this game and even less cutscenes. The game only last about 5 hours, which is not a lot to fully explain a well written Star Wars plot and this falls very short. The clone then attacks Vader and escapes the cloning facility and begins on an adventure to destroy the Empire and Vader. Then at the moment before Vader is about to execute the clone, he sees the memory of Vader betraying Starkiller. Then you start to show that flaw, the emotions of the original Starkiller which lead to his downfall. But many have failed before you because of one flaw. You have been created by Lord Vader to become the perfect assassin. You play as Starkiller again, but it’s a bit different as you play as a clone of him, well one of them. Although it does have awe-inspiring graphics and sounds, it isn’t enough to help the fate of this 5 hour game.
It gets repetitive quick, the levels are all the same and the story is just broken. The sequel has less of all and falls very short of a Star Wars game. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 is the sequel to the ground breaking Force Unleashed which branches the two trilogies together, using the force for full destruction and a great story. The Star Wars universe has one of the most interesting and compelling stories and most Star Wars games are just that. Reviewed by FrontalSpy SIngleplayer Review
